Abstract

The article discusses New York's successful supervised release program in prisons and its demanding workload for caseworkers in 2023. Topics covered include the program's pairing of accused people with social workers who try to keep employed, housed, and stable while their cases are pending, and its legal use of commercial bail bonds for detainees that are illegal in most global jurisdictions. Also noted is the estimated 14 billion-dollar cost of jailing people before trial in the U.S.
